Having My Say

      You want to know something that I hate?  Pop stars these days.  It takes no talent or hard work to be a star now.  Technology can make an anyone sound cool, like the artist T-Pain.  He is 100% auto-tuned, and I think it is unfair that he is so famous.  What happened to real, genuine singing?  Don't get me wrong, I like jamming to the songs on the radio, but it is not beautiful music. Il Volo is the most underrated group I know.  They have three of the best singers I have ever heard in my life.  Sure, they are somewhat famous, but they should be making way more money and be more famous than auto-tuners and lip synchers.  Also, I believe that groups that sound terrible live should not be listened to.  If they can't have a good sound without the help of technology, they don't deserve to make very much money.  I love the group Train on the radio/CD, but they sound like crap live.  Michael Buble, Lifehouse, and Il Volo are amazing live.  If you have not listened to Il Volo, I highly recommend it!  Another thing I don't like: songwriters don't get any credit!  Anyone can sing  songs that are technologically tampered with, but it takes talent to write a song.  I think that artists' fame should be flip-flopped from the way it is right now.  P.S.- Go Il Volo!
